❏ Solution:-

Q) Devendra Bairagi sells a table for at a loss of 5% for Rs 7600 find out the purchasing price of the table.

AnS)

$\underset{Loss\:Of \:5\:\%}{\xrightarrow{Selling\:Price=7600\:Rs}} \:Purchasing\: Price= ?$

Let, the purchasing price was= X Rs

Now, selling price= 7600 Rs

$\sf\therefore$ Loss Amount=(X-7600) Rs.

Now, Loss % =5% [given]

Therefore ,using the above Formula,

$\sf\longrightarrow Loss\%=\frac{Loss\: Amount}{C.P.}\times100\%$

$\sf\longrightarrow 5=\frac{X-7600}{X}\times100$

$\sf\longrightarrow\frac{\cancel5}{\cancel{100}}=\frac{X-7600}{X}$

$\sf\longrightarrow \frac{1}{20}=\frac{X-7600}{X}$

$\sf\longrightarrow 20\times(X-7600)=X$

$\sf\longrightarrow 20X-7600\times20=X$

$\sf\longrightarrow 20X-X=152000$

$\sf\longrightarrow 19X=15200$

$\sf\longrightarrow X=\frac{\cancel{152000}}{\cancel{19}}$

$\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\large{\red{X=8000}}}$

$\therefore$ Purchasing Price was=8000 Rs
